After a fair bit of frustration, our new excimer laser is installed! We have it coupled to an Element 2, and new laser plus sector magnet (rather than quadupole) mass spectrometry is a steep learning curve for me. Nice to spend the afternoon tinkering in the lab though.

@michcampbell whether the number is low or high I cannot tell. We would need a cross-country survey with the same questions asked everywhere.
At my time, obviously I ended up in a stuff position, we were dreaming of tea shops and bookshops, best combined. 😅

56 million years ago, the Earth suddenly heated up – and many plants stopped working properly

Constantly disappointing the Europeans when they find out I don't surf.

Wow I am blown away by this new data on Australia's climate views
Highest levels of outright science denial since 2009. Highest level of 'gov't is doing too much' (!!!)
And more people afraid of 'self aware AI' than climate.
What a nightmare set of results
